Brown Eyes
Number: 49
Length: 4 months on/off
If I had to describe this relationship in three words, I would say: punishing, smoky, and toxic.
We’ve Been Talking For Six Days
I'm in a deliriously good mood today and I don't really know why. I'm not complaining obviously, but after waking up and realising the housemates had left a right mess for me to clean up first thing in the morning for the fourth day in a row, I decided the only thing to do was to put my headphones on, crank up the music, and…
Pre-Date
Today’s going to be a two-post day I think. I wrote a post before last night's date but didn’t post it because I felt ridiculous. I don’t know why. It seems strange to get so… “obsessed” with a man I’ve never met but honestly, I’m obsessed. I was obsessed. So… This is what I wrote pre-date. And then we’ll come back to it. Grab yourself a…
Post-Date
So, I've done the pre-date write-up. If you haven't read it yet, check it out HERE. Now it’s time to read the post-date review. The date with the man, I've still not come up with a name for. The date itself, for some women, would have been a total disaster. For me, it was brilliant. Excellent. Fabulous. I laughed, I was myself, we were ourselves. It…
One Date With Me & You’ll Want A New Tattoo
I’m that good at first dates, you’ll want to mark the occasion afterwards permanently… Apparently. One date, three blog posts. This guy had better stick around and not be a cock, that's all I'm saying. That's a lot of words to waste on a douchebag. Just to recap, if you've not read part one and part two, you can find them here: Pre-Date Post-Date …
The 25-Hour Second Date
I still need to find a name for this guy, and I really can’t think of one. I’ve gone and slept with him now so he definitely needs a name. He can’t just be number 45. Shit. Number 45?! How did that happen? (Clearly that’s the reason this blog is anonymous.) The date almost didn’t happen - he thought I was going to blow him out…
“I’m going to want kids someday…”
And then I said something super dumb. Why did I say it? Because I was stoned and I got carried away with his nice words. Because I figured I might as well get all my cards on the table nice and early because what’s the point in wasting time if we know from the beginning it won’t work…? “I’m going to want kids someday. I’m…
Brown Eyes
The guy with the brown eyes was rolling a spliff. He does that a lot. It was the afternoon after the night before, and we’d eaten the bacon sandwiches I'd had ready and waiting for when he'd finished running his errands. We’d drank the teas I'd made, too. The rest of our afternoon had been reserved for getting stoned and Netflix-and-chilling, so he'd gotten himself…
Love Me Quietly
I may have told Brown Eyes I wanted to have kids on date two but he told me he loved me on date three. Yep, that actually happened. He wins. Our battle of crazy is going into overtime and it’s starting to hit even crazier new heights. We were on the couch, naked, wrapped up in each other, basking in a post-orgasmic glory. He was spooning…
He Always Wakes Up Early
Did you ever see that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie dates the musician guy with some sort of undiagnosed ADHD? Well... That's what it's like dating Brown Eyes. It's lovely and all, he makes me laugh no end and he's so adorably cute and cheeky, you can't help but fall in love with him. But man is it exhausting. Everything with him…
I Know
There hasn't been a single point where I thought I had fallen in love with Brown Eyes, I just, I don't know, always loved him? I just do love him. It's like we've been together a hundred years and we know each other. I know how he snaps and gets shirty with me when I get snappy and shirty with him over the phone first…
